Cabane 44, Seafood restaurant in Arès, France.
Cabane 44 is a seafood restaurant located at the oyster farming port of Arès, serving fresh fish and shellfish prepared from ingredients sourced directly from the local waters. The kitchen works with nearby producers and fishermen who supply what the sea offers each day.
The Pasquet family opened this establishment in April 2022 as their second restaurant following the success of an earlier venture with a similar concept. They built this new location on their growing experience in seafood dining and local sourcing.
The restaurant embodies the maritime traditions of Arès by showcasing the daily work and crafts of local oyster farmers and fishermen in its setting and service. Visitors encounter the customs and knowledge of the fishing community that has shaped this coastal town.
The restaurant operates from Tuesday through Sunday with lunch and dinner service during set hours. It is wise to plan ahead as this small establishment fills up quickly, especially during warmer months when visitors come to the port area.
Visitors can arrange to visit a nearby traditional oyster farm to learn how shells are cultivated using methods passed down through generations in the Bassin d'Arcachon. This adds an educational dimension that connects the meal to the actual work happening on the water.
